Mourning latest knife victim

01 June, 2018

• MY poem in mourning for the victim of (yet another) fatal stabbing in Upper Street:

Upper Street Memorial

The flowers tied roughly to the lamppost are fading already – their messages scrawled on postcards running in the rain. All these condolences will not bring life again & a strong young body its veins bursting with energy is stilled its laughter mocked by our misery.
